National Instruments has announced the launch of a new data acquisition module, the NI-9208. Designed for industrial systems, this module features high channel density and high-resolution modes to provide accurate current input measurement.

Key features of NI-9208 module include:

16 single-ended analog input channels supporting ±20 mA current input.

24-bit analog input resolution for high precision measurement.

The maximum sampling rate is up to 500 S/s to meet the needs of fast data acquisition.

With 50/60 Hz noise removal function, effectively eliminate low-frequency noise.

The compact module design helps to reduce the total cost per channel of the system.

Connect cables and junction boxes using standard D-SUB interfaces for easy integration.

In addition, the NI-9208 has a variety of safety features, including overvoltage protection and analog input isolation, ensuring reliability and stability in industrial applications. The module’s high channel density design reduces the number of modules required, leaving room for other measurement types, while also helping to reduce system costs.

The module is suitable for a variety of industrial applications such as power quality monitoring and metering, smart grid equipment, industrial machine measurement, health monitoring, and predictive maintenance. The introduction of the NI-9208 further expands National Instruments’ product line in data acquisition and industrial automation, providing customers with more powerful and flexible measurement solutions.

The modules also follow specific safety guidelines for use in potentially explosive environments, have ATEX and IECEx certifications, and clearly indicate the environmental conditions for which they are applicable, including operating temperature, humidity and contamination levels. In addition, detailed technical parameters such as accuracy specifications, input characteristics, noise performance and stability performance of the NI-9208 module are presented in the data sheet of the NI-9209, which provides a comprehensive technical reference.

Overall, the introduction of the NI-9208 module marks another important advance in National Instruments’ high-precision data acquisition technology, which provides powerful hardware support for industrial automation and control systems.
